A COMMON DESIGN.

In closing his argument Mr.. SWEET says
"The truth is, man wants more than he
used to want. He may labor, or he may
live in hut, but when he sees other peo-
pie have comforts he wants them for
himself. We never want and long for
what we do not know to exist The
wealthy cannot have Injuries without
letting the poor know it. A workman
cannot walk at night by the house we'll
warmed and full of brightness and good
cheer without wishing it were his own
home. The wife of the workman will
see the wife of her employer and
envy her. His daughter cannot, as she
works at the market price of labor,
but sigh for something better than she
has known, and think. as she trudges to
her sewing machine, how much nicer 1t
would be to go to a piano. Humanity
lies in pyramid, and every man and
woman envies the man or woman next
higher. Even the apex man is not con-
tent. Uneasy lies the head that wears
the crown. And yet the greatest hopes of
humality rest IN the fact that all its classes
and individuals are always and every
where bearing.

There are very few who understands the
extent of the tobacco consumption in this
country. The reports from washington
show that the government derived
revenue of nearly S43,O0O,OO0 from cigars
and tobacco, and estimating the value of
the tobacco and cigars consumed at four
times the amount of the tax paid, which
is a fair estimate, the people of the United
States paid in 1856 for these two articles,
S1S1, 100000, more than So for every man.
woman and child in the country. Going
into details, somewhat, the figures show
that the number of cigars annually con-
sumed are equally interesting. Cigars
upon which tax was paid last year foo
up 3,210,SSS, 4SS. The average length of
cigars is four inches. If the cigar upon
which tax was paid last year were laid
singiy In row they would extend around
the earth nine times. Laid in a straight
line they would extend 22l, 64S miles.
Distributed equally among the entire
population of the United States each per-
son would receive fifty eight and one half
of the people smoke the per capita
consumption was equal to III cigars.

THIEVES AND BURGLARS.
Circus Followers Break Through
and Steal.

Many houses left unoccupied du
ring the street parade of Forepaugh's
circus Thursday were entered by
thieves, who carried away everything
to be secured In the way of money
and portable valuables. There is
band of thieves following the show
and the robberies here were but
repetition of what has occurred
where ever 1t has been. The people
had been warned and 1t was very
unwise 10 leave houses unprotected,
as the city was full of all sorts of
people and 1t might have been ex
pected, even had no warning been
given, that thieves and tramps would
get in their work. The following are
the parties who sustained losses so
far as heard from:
Judge Joe McCarroll's house on
North Main was entered from the
rear, the door being broken open, and
every room In the house ransacked. A
quantity of jewelry and silverwa are,
including number of Mrs. McCar-
rolls highly priced bridal presents,
was taken, together with such other
valuables as could be found. Among
the stolen articles were two sets of
jewelry, gold chain and pair of
bracelets, valued at over $3.50. From
another box was take three gold rings
and from another room large
quantity of silyerware.
Judge McCarrolPs losses aggregate
about $500 and Miss Cromwell, a
guest of his family, also lost fine
gold watch and chain worth 500.
The house of Rev. A. G. Biddle, on
South Virginia street, was also enter
ed and completely ransacked. Every
drawer In the furniture was opened
and searched for yaluables. Mrs.
Biddle's purse containing $40 and
about SIS worth of jewelry were ia
ken.
Mr.. Geo. G. Longs house on South
Virginia street, was also broken into
aud thoroughly searched. AS the
family are away from the city 1t is
not know what vsiuables were taken.
Mr.. Walter Binns was another vic
tim. His house near the circus
grounds was entered and a valuable
watch taken from a vest In one of the
rooms. The torn up condition of
things showed that thorough search
OF the room had been made.
An unsuccessful attempt was also
made TO enter at one of the windows
of Mr.. Hunter Woods house on 7th
street. The blinds were cut and the
glass broken but the thief was prob
ably frightened of before an entrance
was effected.
A suspicious looking character
was discovered prowling around DR..
Wheeler's residence and driven Off by
the appearance of servant.
These are all of the cases so far ! e.
ported in town, but the house of Rev.
Jno. Moore, col, on the Newstead
pike, a mile from town, was burglar
lied during the day and ashot gun, a
valise and a suit of clothes taken
The value of these articles was prob
ably $40 or $50.
A negro named Irwin had $3.50 in
silver snatched from his hand by a
stranger near the depot who asked
him to change a $500 bill for him.
The thief escaped and disappeared in
the crowd with his victims show
money.
No cases of pocket-picking were
reported here, though P. NJ. Barker
had his gold watch stolen at Clarks-
vile the day before.
